nitro rc truck wont sit still
 

i have been searching the web but could not find the answer to my question. Im glad that it starts instantly but the idle speed is extremly high and the cars wheel start to spin faster and faster even when its on the ground. there was a bend in the fuel li e but when i fixed ig it didnt help. any ideas??

Sounds like the low speed needle is misadjusted. It should be on the side of the carburetor. What truck is it?

Its the caldera 3.0. Redcat. I installed a kill switch on it so maybe there is a air leak between the lines. could this bethe reason? I will deffinatly try to adjust the lsn thanks. Do you think a hobby store would tune it?

Yeah, they would, but they'd charge you for it. Just make sure what I circled is flush with the carbrautor. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2085958

ok il adjust the needle and see what happens.

do you think a air leak could be causing this or no?

No. It wouldn't even start if there was an air leak. Even the smallest hole in the head would cause a massive problem.

ok well i dont think its the lsn. I have it at the proper setting and if i lean it it wont start richen it the car takes like 10 seconds on the pinch test.
An air leak in the fuel line if its not on fully wont allow the engine to start? Thats odd since the engine revs really high and the gap is 1mm. where is it getting aiir from? Also it will only stay on for around 45 seconds.

And when i turn the clutch the spur gear turns too{when the car is off} is this nor al or no?

That sounds like the clutch is broken or possibly stuck.

do you know how to check without taking out the engine? Also its the Redcat caldera 3.0 so if its broken is there a upgrade because i only ran 5 tanks on it.

I dont think your clutch is bad if your car isnt very old.

When an engine is broke in an you start the lean tune,the engine will start revving,so there for,it will
require other adjustments to calm the engine down.
If you dont understand how to tune engine,then you might have to find a local hobby shop to do it
for you.
Theres also y-tube vids that will help...:cool:
